Manitoba's EFP

By implementing an EFP, producers are able to improve air, water and soil quality while conserving biodiversity on Manitoba farmland. Environmental farm planning contributes to environmental protection and conservation, and makes our province's agricultural products commodities more marketable to environmentally conscious consumers.
